How can I blend the bag in to the background so it’s looks more real attached to the bike? Or maybe its better to just take an image of the bag attached to the bike
As for taking a photo with the bag attached: Most of the time, the real image looks more realistic.
As for the image montage: The bike has more contrast than the bag, so increase the contrast of the bag. Check the direction of the light sources and add a drop shadow.

I agree about the difference in contrast that @Joe mentioned. That’s easily fixed by adjusting the contrast of the bag.
However, other problems can’t be easily fixed. The bag is black, which hides much of the detail. More problematic is that from the head-on angle, the bag is just a rectangle with no visual depth to indicate that it’s a three-dimensional bag that’s attached to the bike.
I think the best option is to shoot a photo of the bag from an angle while it’s actually attached to the bike.

Think maybe a bit of perspective too, the bike’s kickstand is down and it’s leaning back, but the bag is vertical and not leaning back.
